Watch: Rohit Sharma Devastated After 2 Off 7 Balls vs England In 1st ODI. Long Walk Back Paints Sorry Picture

Rohit Sharma painted a sorry picture in the first India vs England ODI in Nagpur as the skipper was dismissed for just 2 off seven balls on Thursday. After a poor outing in Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the India vs England ODI series is a crucial test for Rohit Sharma. There are question marks over his future, and ahead of the Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma needs big scores to boost his confidence. However, Thursday was not that day. The India captain was out off tame shot and his distraught reaction said it all.

Debutant Harshit Rana and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja claimed three wickets apiece as India pegged back England in the middle overs to bundle them out for 248 in 47.4 overs in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium here on Thursday.
Hammered for 26 runs in an over by Phil Salt in his debut match, Rana showed great courage to come back strongly and claimed 3-53 while Jadeja was exceptional in bagging 3-26 as India showed their bowling power once again at home to restrict England to what appears to be a manageable chase despite fighting fifties by Jos Buttler (52) and Jacob Bethell (51).

After skipper Buttler elected to bat first, England made a decent start before they were pulled back in the middle overs, falling for a small total. The Indian batters would definitely fancy their chances as dew is expected to set in and make bowling a bit difficult in the second innings on a pitch that had a good pace and bounce.

Earlier, England were off to a decent start and raced to 50 for no loss in 36 balls after Mohammed Shami had started the proceedings with a maiden over.
